Hello friends! I hope you are hanging in there, amid….gestures around. And I hope your weekend will be restful and fun and restorative.
This is beautifully done, at The Cut: The Monterey Park I Remember. I grew up in the San Gabriel Valley; this particular tragedy was terribly close to home. It’s also absolutely awful that we’re in a place in American history where it feels like every community is getting a mass shooting. Give to Everytown, if you can.
Do you ever think to yourself, “a new notebook will fix this”? WELL. I HAVE YOU SORTED.
I don’t NEED a new bag. But J.Crew brought back their Edie bag and I might want a new bag. The size is so nice! You can monogram! A lot of my day-to-day bags are starting to look ratty, because I am TOUGH on my purses. [commissionable link]
This is a really interesting (and data-based!) piece on Robyn and Juan Dixon of Real Housewives of Potomac getting remarried. I don’t know about Juan Dixon sometimes!! (Although he is, admittedly, very hot.) There is some not-great stuff coming out of Coppin State, where he’s the head coach of the basketball team? Plus there are infidelity rumors? (I do not necessarily believe the Grand Dame on this one, to be clear.) PLUS I feel like sometimes he’s not as supportive of Robyn as he should be — remember last season when he kept telling her she was being lazy when she was clearly depressed?! This concludes our trip into the Bravo Cinematic Universe. For now. I WILL ALWAYS HAVE THOUGHTS! [Lainey]
OMG. I love Dashing Diva’s nail stickers and this is A RIDE. They were going to go MLM and….it didn’t go over well. [Behind MLM]
I spend a lot of time on Reddit reading — well, all kinds of stuff! I thought this was a very interesting discussion at the Frugal subReddit: What have you stopped buying because of the price increases?

I also low-key am into these wide-leg-ish chinos? (I’m going to put together a Pants Post soon, by request!) J.Crew has a lot of wide-leg pants right now. [also commissionable at J.Crew]
The Lopez/Garner blended family seems to be very tight and it’s so sweet to me! [Lainey]

A really fun piece at Evil Witches about what it’s like to be what I’m gonna call “a normal person” who goes to awards shows with/as a nominated person. The key seems to be snacks.

We had a very fun chat about the Oscar nominations here earlier this week, actually!
This is such a wild story, thank god he is okay! Or, I guess, to be more precise, thank god he didn’t die — as it seems like he surely has a long road ahead of him. “Jeremy Renner was not impaired during snowplowing accident, tried to save nephew from being crushed by machine when actor was ran over, sheriff reveals.”

Finally, I know many of you read and loved Daisy Jones and the Six — as did I! — and I’m really excited for its adaptation. Here’s the trailer:
